Lonely versus Alone

18 July 2016

Hello lovelies! As I've mentioned before I love writing my thoughts down and you seemed to enjoy it as well so I decided that they will be more of this kind of blog in the future. I hope you will enjoy this one :) Thanks for reading and I will see you on Wednesday! ♥

Being alone and being lonely are two different things. We both know it so we won't deny it. You can feel lonely in a room full of people. You can be alone and yet not feel lonely. They are distinct but sometimes they meet on a common ground.

I'm sure we've all felt lonely. Maybe it was that time, you were surrounded by your closest friends and everybody was speaking. You just sat there and looked around. And for a minute there, your mind wondered. What if I wasn't there ? Would it make any difference? Would they notice if I left ? Perhaps, it was that other time when you started a sentence and never got the chance to finish it. It hits you like a wave. A wave of loneliness. It's always there. It gets to you as soon as there is a crack on the wall. And suddenly, you realize you're all alone.

Alone with yourself. You don't have anybody with you. You're dinning alone. You're waking up all alone in that empty bed of yours. You don't have that special someone anymore. You look at everyone around you, they all have someone. They are not alone while you don't have anyone else but yourself. Your friends have jobs and new friends. They are always busy so you're left behind. C'est la vie.

You're not going to make new friends or meet the love of your life. This is not a movie. This is real life, your life. In this reality, the big moment that changes everything isn't around the corner. Maybe you will meet amazing people and fell in love a few times. But in the end, it's you against the world.

So, don't be so hard on yourself. You're doing the best you can. And someday, it'll be your turn to be happy.
